ABSTRACT:
Koro syndrome is a culture-related psychiatric disorder which is endemic in
South-East Asia and is characterised by the sudden development of fear that
one’s penis is shrinking into the abdomen and may result in death. A number
of cases with Koro-like symptoms have been reported among Caucasians in
association with a variety of neuropsychiatric pathology. This case report describes
a case of Koro-like symptoms associated with schizophrenia in a 66
years old male European living in a Western Country.
